What Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution Is About

In the sixties there was a summer camp called Jened near New York where disabled teenagers lived, for the first time, without being looked at by anyone but each other. The documentary opens with raw footage that survived from the camp and then follows what those same people did over the following decades: the fight for legal rights, street actions, and the occupation of a federal building in San Francisco in 1977 that ran past twenty-five days. Jim LeBrecht was at the camp and co-directed with Nicole Newnham. Judith Heumann is at the centre. Rights are presented not as a technical matter but as a question of how people live together. It won the audience award at Sundance. Who it is for: viewers who like documentaries about rights movements built on archive. Who it is not for: anyone wanting a short overview, since this goes into detail.
